Product Detail Extreme cold tolerance Disease Resistant High yields in forage production Cover crop, forage, wildlife, or hay production Rapid germination and medium maturity Great option for Southern Climates Product Information Application area for Frostproof Annual Ryegrass vary depending on the intended use. Frostproof Annual Ryegrass is a versatile forage and can be used for grazing, hay and silage, wildlife, and cover crop. Frostproof Annual Ryegrass establishes quickly, which aids in soil protection and weed management. Froostproof Annual Ryegrass has been tested in both southern and northern states to ensure that it can perform well under heavy grazing, disease, and cold while still providing high forage yield potential. Southerners need ryegrass that can perform well under grazing and also be resistant to cold snaps and disease. During the winter of 2016-17, North-Central Florida experienced nine separate freezing events with the coldest temperature of 25F on March 16, followed by a high temperature of 88F on March 22 and 92.5F on April 2. Crown rust was also a significant disease that "became epidemic" by early March. FrostProof's ability to resist crown rust gave it the ability to continue to produce high yields. Even under these tough conditions, FrostProof was one of the highest performing entries with excellent early season yields, as well as overall forage yields.
